What time is sunset in Vinh today?

The warm light starts well before that: evening golden hour opens at 17:16, giving 29 minutes of low golden light before the sun reaches the horizon. Sunset is not the end of the light either.

Tomorrow the sun sets at 17:44 in Vinh. That is 50 seconds earlier than today. Over the coming week sunset moves 5 minutes 43 seconds earlier.
Is the day getting longer or shorter in Vinh right now?
Vinh gets 11h 57m of daylight today, from sunrise to sunset. Tomorrow will be 1 minute 3 seconds shorter. Over the next seven days Vinh loses 7 minutes 16 seconds of daylight.
That pace is not constant. In Vinh the day length changes fastest around March, near the equinox, when it moves by about 1 minute 4 seconds per day, and it slows almost to a stop at the solstices in June and December. The word solstice means exactly that: the sun standing still.
When are the earliest and latest sunrise and sunset in Vinh?
The earliest sunset of 2026 in Vinh falls on 24 November at 17:18, 27 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 5 July at 18:38.
Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 5 June at 05:19, latest on 18 January at 06:32, 28 days after the December solstice. The four dates in the table below do not line up with the solstices, and they are not supposed to. Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical and its axis is tilted, so the sun runs a few minutes fast or slow against clock time through the year. That offset, the equation of time, is what pushes the earliest sunset ahead of the shortest day and the latest sunrise behind it.
| Extreme | Date | Local time | Why then |
|---|---|---|---|
| Earliest sunrise | 5 Jun 2026 | 05:19 | 16 days before the June solstice |
| Latest sunrise | 18 Jan 2026 | 06:32 | 28 days after the December solstice |
| Earliest sunset | 24 Nov 2026 | 17:18 | 27 days before the December solstice |
| Latest sunset | 5 Jul 2026 | 18:38 | 14 days after the June solstice |
How long does twilight last in Vinh?
First light in Vinh arrives 22 minutes before sunrise today, at 05:26. After sunset the light hangs on for another 22 minutes, until 18:06. That evening stretch is not the same all year in Vinh: it runs from 22 minutes at its shortest, in September, to 24 minutes at its longest, in June. The lower the angle at which the sun crosses the horizon, the longer twilight lasts, which is why dusk is a slow affair at high latitudes and abrupt near the equator.
How high does the sun get in Vinh?
At midday on the June solstice the sun stands 85.2 degrees above the horizon in Vinh. On the December solstice it climbs only 47.9 degrees. The midday sun stays high enough all year that noon shadows in Vinh are always shorter than the object casting them, about 0.90 times their height at the lowest point of the year.
Twice a year, on 14 May and 29 July, the midday sun over Vinh comes within half a degree of straight overhead, reaching 89.96 degrees at its highest. On those days an upright post casts almost no shadow at solar noon, which is why they are sometimes called zero shadow days. It can only happen between the tropics, where the sun passes directly over a place at all.

As Earth orbits the Sun, the point on the horizon where the Sun rises and sets moves, which lengthens or shortens the day and shifts sunrise and sunset times.
Are the times for Vinh accurate?
Yes. Times are computed with the well established SunCalc astronomy library using the coordinates of Vinh and shown in its local time zone. They are accurate to about a minute for a clear, flat horizon. Hills, tall buildings and atmospheric conditions can shift the moment you actually see the Sun by a few minutes.

When is the earliest sunset in Vinh?
The earliest sunset of 2026 in Vinh is on 24 November at 17:18, 27 days before the December solstice. The earliest sunset and the shortest day are not the same date, because the sun runs a few minutes fast or slow against clock time through the year, an effect called the equation of time.
